Mint-Green Magic: How the Universe Delivered My Little Joys

(I started writing this part of the blog at home!)

Okayyy... I'm starting this blog with a couple of questions for my lovely readers. I want you to tell me this: Do you think the Universe is listening to you? Do you have stories to tell? Because I am all ears!!! My own answer to both questions is YES, and hell YESSS subsequently...

Why Tiny Joys Matter (And Why the Universe Loves Sending Them!)

I know I have already written a manifestation story before on my blog, and today I'm bringing another one to prove again that the Universe is listening. This one is on a tiny scale, but it brought me so much joy. And little things always bring me joy. Now, that doesn't mean I'm denying the happiness that big accomplishments bring to our lives. But I don’t want to spend my life waiting for big things to happen. Everything happens at the right time, so why should I bother waiting and forgetting to enjoy life until then? I don’t want to look back later and realize that most of my life passed by in a flash while I missed countless tiny beautiful things around me, jumping up and down like a squirrel saying, “I am here for you. This is for you. Please take a moment to savour this. Enjoy this.”

Anyways, yes, we went a bit sideways there. But I had to emphasize this point because I want you guys to see how important it is not only to focus on big manifestations but also to notice the little ones you wished for and were granted, and be grateful for them too! The Universe listens to those too, bringing them to you in its own mischievous ways, because these little joys are exactly what sustain us while waiting for bigger dreams to come true. I hope I’ve convinced you so far. If not, let me know and I'll bring my ultimate weapon to blackmail you into it: another way-too-long paragraph, heheh...😂 My words will never end when it comes to the Universe!!!

And you know what? I got the idea to write about this while I was cooking. Weird, ha! But also so on point because the song playing in the background at that moment was... drumroll please... "My Universe" by Coldplay. Definitely a sign from the almighty Universe nudging me to write about this!

Old Port, Sunset, and the Story I Had to Tell

(And here is where I took a break and continued writing from the Old Port) I’m literally sitting at the Old Port right now. I brought my picnic stuff and a homemade avocado sandwich. It’s so therapeutic here. I’m sitting beside the water body which looks like an infinity pool. Today's sunset colors are beautiful shades of pink reflected perfectly on the water's surface. Lots of seagulls are having fun around the water, and I’m soaking it all in. I opened my diary to finish writing this story.

My Picnic Spot!💜

June was special. I manifested some beautiful things that month, and I shared it briefly in my Instagram post called "June - in bits and pieces." But now it's time to tell you the full, magical story.

Little Apartment Dreams and Balcony Joys

Since May, as summer finally showed up, there were a couple of things I wanted to buy for the studio apartment I’m renting. I’m currently adding personal touches to my space, and I wanted to buy a cute little coffee table. And since I love enjoying my chai or just standing on my balcony (a place that breathes so much life into me!!!), I also thought of getting some patio furniture, specifically a small table with two chairs.

Oh wait, as I wrote this sitting at the Old Port, something just happened. I heard the whistles of the tiny toy train I rode last month. And I saw it passing by! That instantly took me back to the joyful ride with that lovely old gentleman (who was the driver) who sang the mountain poem. It reminded me not to give up on my inner child. I wrote about that in another blog post; feel free to head there and read it.💜 I also saw a beautiful moon staring down at me right now, divine and magical, and it’s sunset.

I saw that tiny toy train and the old gentleman again!💜

And the magical moon!!!💜

Okay, back to the story. I keep drifting sideways, hehe!😅

So....buying those things was on my mind for a while, but here’s what your girl was confused about. I’m moving out of this apartment at the end of this year, and I’m not even sure if I’ll continue living in Montreal. So what was the point of buying all this furniture if I might migrate to another city or even another country? Who knows! (Your girl strongly believes in spontaneous decisions when it comes to life's important matters.)

When I Couldn’t Decide… So the Universe Did It for Me

Anyway, somehow I still ended up browsing online and picked out this cute, mini, mint-green coffee table. Honestly, it wasn’t even that expensive, but two things kept stopping me: First, I didn't want to buy something temporary because I'd have to give it up soon when moving out. I really don't want to carry all this stuff to another city or country. Second, there's this whole issue around consumerism. I could honestly ramble about it forever.

The real point was: I didn’t want to buy something temporarily when I knew I’d have to let go of it so soon. My next move might be a bigger one, and carrying stuff around when I could only enjoy it for a few months seemed impractical. Plus, I am a lazy girl when it comes to the hassle of selling or managing these things later. Usually, I’d donate them, but in this case, it was so pretty that I knew I'd get attached and wouldn’t want to let go easily.

I thought of so many reasons not to buy them. But I kept thinking about having them, also the patio furniture, because the idea of spending the whole day out there...eating, working, just living....filled me with joy. I got caught up weighing the joy versus practicality, especially knowing I’d have to move. I mean, I’d probably enjoy the patio furniture barely for three months and then have to buy it again wherever I moved next, right? I don’t like the idea of temporary stuff at all. So I decided to let it go, but those thoughts stayed in my mind. I didn’t act on them, though. A month went by like this, and then the Universe stepped in and made the decision for me. It chose an extra dose of joy for me!!!

The Mint-Green Magic I Didn’t See Coming

And here's where woo-woo(one of my favorite words!!!😉) happened.....Universe and its mischiefs! One fine evening, I stepped out for a walk towards my favorite spot. (Guess the spot! If you know me by now, you know the spot. 10 out of 10 if you DM me with the right answer and I’ll answer your one question!) Before leaving the building, I went to the storage room (a recycle room) to throw away some recyclable things. That huge room has a separate corner dedicated to things people no longer need. People put their unwanted things there so others can use them.

As I was placing my recyclables into the container, I glanced at that corner. And to my surprise, there was a coffee table sitting there, left by someone. I was completely flabbergasted because it wasn’t just any random table. It was the exact mint-green coffee table I'd selected online earlier, in perfect condition! I was in even more awe when I noticed two wooden chairs and a small, cute wooden table folded neatly right next to it, as if they had been waiting specifically for me.🤩

That’s when I realized clearly what just happened. I manifested them. Think about it: what are the chances of discovering exactly what I’d wished for, right there in my building? Especially that very specific mint-green table I chose online. How miraculous is that? The Universe pampering me, spoiling me with little things that fill my heart with gratitude and joy.

The Little Lessons (And Big Magic) I Took Away From This

After reflecting, here’s what I learned from this experience:

First, the Universe listens to you....clearly and loudly. The thoughts you feed yourself are heard and acted upon. When you engage with the Universe with pure intentions, positive energy, and gratitude for the life you live, you attract even more reasons for joy.

Second, the happiness and excitement I felt receiving this blessing directly from the Universe was so much greater than what I would've felt if I had simply bought it myself. When I was confused and overwhelmed with choices, I just relinquished control to the Universe. Honestly, it might sound small, but I was seriously confused. I decided not to act on it and simply trusted the Universe to figure it out. I let go peacefully without losing my faith in the Universe, in both small and big matters, and things ended up working perfectly in my favor. Now, when I move out, I'll hope that the things I own but no longer need will find their way to someone else who truly needs them, just like someone did for me. It brings me happiness every day when I spend my time on the balcony, and the mere sight of that mint-green table is the cherry on top of my cake.

Third, you might think these are just little materialistic things, not significant at all. But that's exactly my point. It doesn't matter if they are small. I've manifested everything I've wanted, intentionally and unintentionally. Some dreams I barely even noticed landed quietly in my lap. A small opportunity appeared, and it led to another, and then another related one, until suddenly I was exactly where I wanted to be. For that to happen, I had to learn not to hold on people and things too tightly...and when I let it all go, everything worked out for me. For some dreams, it took a couple of years; for others, it happened quickly. And for some, I know I'm already on my way. I never tried to control the outcome. Instead, I released control, trusted the Universe, and allowed things to unfold naturally. I met the people I needed to meet, went to the places I needed to go, and grabbed opportunities as they appeared. Everything happened like a beautiful domino effect. When I look back, I see my life as this creative, intricate, magical story.

I have another blog post already sharing one such story. Feel free to read it here. I realized so many of my dreams came true without me even noticing, and it only becomes more beautiful and magical day by day.

The Universe Has Your Back… Even Through the Little Things

As you are manifesting your bigger dreams, don't overlook the ways the Universe is quietly helping you through these little manifestations. They are clear signs from the Universe that it always has your back. Live your life with faith and gratitude, and the Universe will keep bringing you everything you need, far better than fear, control, or a lacking mindset ever could.

This was my story, another manifestation receipt from the Universe, another proof that the Universe listens to you and has your back. I have many bigger stories to tell, but for now, this is it. Now it's your turn!!! Tell me something you manifested. Share your stories by DM or comment below. I’m so eager and excited to hear from you!💜
